Question NW1299 to the Minister of Police
03 June 2021 - NW1299
Terblanche, Mr OS to ask the Minister of Police
Whether the SAP 6 document, which is a police station’s monthly performance chart in terms of the crimes reported, crimes detected, charges laid and/or instituted and convictions achieved during the specified month, will be made available to the public on a monthly basis for the 30 top police stations in the Republic; if not, why not; if so, (a) on what date will the document be made available and (b) how often will it be made available thereafter?
Reply:
The SAP 6 document is the source document from which the crime statistics are derived, hence provision of this document will be in direct violation of the cabinet decision which approved that crime statistics be released in accordance with a pre- release calendar provided by the minister of police to cabinet.
Reply to question 1299 approved
